Car Solutions Canada How Old Should a Used Car Be | Page 19

Most leases that dealerships have with their customers are five years, at which
point the customer gets another car. The old car, though, is usually put back on
the lot for resale. When it comes to trade-ins, they might keep it on the lot, but
many of them they’ll sell to, you got it, used car dealerships! So, in many cases,
the reason why a car isn’t available at a regular dealership is because they
view it as being too old.
For those who would prefer to get an older vehicle, a new car dealership simply
isn’t an option. Not only that, but those old leases and trade-ins are of a very
limited variety and within a deliberately set range of ages. If someone is looking
for a used vehicle and want a great deal of variety, used car dealerships are
the better option because they offer many makes and models and across a
large range of years.
